Luge Yourself is now the biggest Curling fan!
To the rundown...
Alpine Skiing - A new team event saw a lot of back-ups participating and lacked the star power. Only Michael Matt of Austria and Soohorang Success was on the team that earned the silver. No one elite wanted to participate in the slalom head to head race event.
Cross-Country - 50km mass start - no points earned
Curling - USA USA USA USA USA - Mr. T gave them a pep talk and the US men's team pitied the fools that doubted them. After a miraculous run to get to the gold medal game, they delivered and beat the elite Swedish team. Luge Yourself gets Gold, Russian Ministry of Sport gets Silver.
Japan won the women's Bronze - no points to anyone
Hockey - Canada won the Bronze! Obviously not the medal they hope for, but salvaging some points for Incheon Closer. After their semi-final loss to Germany, the German foreign office sent out a message to Germans in Canada to be nice to the Canadians, because think about how you would feel if Canada beat Germany in soccer.
Snowboarding - Ester Ledecka gets an EXPECTED Gold in the parallel giant slalom for Lindsey Vonn-miting after earning the skiing Super G gold earlier. She had borrowed someones skis to compete, but no borrowing of equipment in her specialty here. Nevin Galmarini got a Gold for Suk-hee year in the Men's Parallel Giant Slalom event.
Long Track - The men's and women's Mass Start events were a new event this year, and featured some very bizarre rules that I still don't understand. Also they had Dale Earnhardt Jr try to describe how this is like NASCAR so I was even more lost. The skaters seemed to know what they were doing, so in the men's race, Suk-hee year won a gold from Lee Seung-hoon of South Korea and Lindsey Vonn-miting got a Bronze from Koen Verweij.
IT ALLLLL COMES DOOOOOWN TO THIS
